Spring Thing 2022

The 2022 Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction features forty-eight new interactive stories submitted by authors working across the spectrum of text games. Participants chose to place their games in either the Main Festival, where they are eligible for a Best In Show ribbon and prizes, or the Back Garden, with looser entry requirements allowing for more experimental or work-in-progress entries.
